What Gives You Peace/Relaxes You?

[AlohaShannon]

Music helps, though I seldom listen seriously any more.

Watching little kids is a joy. They just make me happy. Getting to have a few words with the two little boys next door brightens my day.

Nature can be wonderful. This morning I watched a blue jay and a robin in the back yard. Don't know why but they just take my mind off of things.

Daydreamng can be very relaxing.

Now would someone tell me how to make these things last.

When my father was alive he invested so much of his time on his floral gardens and his birdfeeders. He LOVED sitting on the back deck and just watching the birds or tending to his flowers and plants. A year before he passed he put out hummingbird feeders and sure enough they would visit frequently throughout the day as well.

I don't know if it would work for you, but it seems feasible that a way to make those peaceful feelings stay alive inside you would be to turn your enjoyment of nature into a hobby so you are able to cultivate that peace.

Just a thought LJay...
